Design and Implementation of Cloud based Digital Energy Meter using ESP8266

Abstract

Increasing cost in energy sector demands for structured use of energy. It is vital to understand the rate of energy consumption during specific period utilizing Energy Meters. Energy consumption can be measured using a traditional energy meter; however, their use is restricted in inaccessible areas or in occasion of poor visibility resulting in limited functionality. Also, the main drawback is that a person has to take readings area by area from every house and institute make it time consuming. We propose a Cloud based Wireless Energy Meter [1] which can send data via wireless communication (cloud computing) to a PC or mobile phones in the form of E-mails or mobile application notification or through web page; where surveillance and analysis of the data will be made. This computational system can be used to measure energy quantities of transformers and high voltage towers at remote locations, industries, domestic area, and institutions.
